Link perpendicular dimension lines

Link perpendicular dimension lines

You can connect two perpendicular dimension lines. Connecting dimension lines makes your drawings clearer and easier to read.

In an open drawing, hold down Ctrl and select two perpendicular dimension lines to connect.

On the Dimensioning tab, click Link dimensions.
